As a volunteer, you can tell your church which dates you are unavailable to serve and how often you would like to serve. To get started, click the circle with your initials in the upper-right corner of any page and choose Scheduling Availability.
A pop-up appears with two tabs: one for adding blockout dates (the dates you cannot serve) and another for setting your serving preferences.
Managing blockout dates
In the calendar, highlight the dates you are unable to serve. Once you have selected the dates you want to block off, a section appears near the bottom where you can add more detail, such as the reason (optional).
To remove a blockout date, click the date and select Delete.
Managing serving preferences
To change the serving preferences for any volunteer positions you hold, open the Preferences tab. If you have more than one volunteer position, each one appears here in a list.
For each position, you can indicate how often you would like to serve. These preferences are shared with the person who builds the volunteer schedules so they can take them into account.
Tip: A volunteer cannot be scheduled to serve on a date they have blocked out. They can still be scheduled even when the assignment does not match their preference.
Note: Any of the following can edit serving preferences for a profile:
The person themselves
The family manager (or spouse) for that person's family, if enabled in account settings
Any user with the Limited Write People permission
